Is it sp2 - 256 with 8gb ram or sp1 - 256 with 4gb? $750 for sp2-256 with 8gb ram is steal compared to anywhere else sold for 1299+tax...

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

I think every person looks for the best price at the time of purchase. If you found a better deal on a single 8GB then I say go for it. No kit or nothing special about the 2x8GB.

Hi, My RAM has a Hynix sticker with 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 and then there is a bar code below the text. On top of that stickers bar code there is another sticker saying 2GB, DDR2-800 VOID IF REMOVED. The RAM was immideatly by my HP Mini 2140 that said that it detected a new configuration with a 2.08GB RAM and wanted to know if I should save that configuration in the BIOS. So I did and the machine booted up nicely. No problem for me. BR Tomas

Check out the differences between the 1513 and the 1512 and consider if they are worth the extra $100 to you or not. Me personally, I always try to get the latest model when it's not a bank breaker. To be honest though, 2GB of RAM and 4 ethernet ports are not that much of an upgrade. I purchased the additional 1GB of RAM for my 1512 to bump it up to 2GB, think I picked it up here on Amazon for around $30. I highly recommend getting the extra memory for the 1512 if you go that route. Here is a link on some folks talking about the differences of the 1512 and the 1513: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=200&t=66881&start=75

Hi Marcus, As stated in our description, this model is the 256mb version. We also carry the 1gb model as well.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

2gb on the cheaper model 4gb on the more expensive model 1400 I think is the price for the 4gb model

So does have 4 gigs of ram or 2? Which is it? And if it does have 4, what's up with the 32 bit OS?

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

I did a lot of checking, and the answer is no, but not sure why. There is an i7 version that comes with 8GB RAM.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

I bought this laptop 3months ago for school. It has been exceptional. Only has 1gb of memory so kind of slow. Recommend going with at least 2gb or upgrading as I am about to

"I'm a girl..." Oh no she di'nt... :)Seriously, where did you buy 2gb ram for only $60??? My tech guy recommends crucial.com, but it's $106 there not including shipping. thanks, chickadee

mine came with sp2 but uploaded sp3 without a hitch off wireless over ~ 10 minutes in back ground... I even (foolishly) stopped midstream and upgraded to 2 gig's ram and after restarting boot booster all continued w/o a hitch. Then wrapped it back up and put it back under the tree.
